In Argentina, large steaks are often grilled over logs rather than charcoal, which gives the meat a subtle smokiness. Get a similar flavor at home with this recipe that employs a clever hack that can be done on any charcoal grill. Then finish it off with another Argentine classic: a piquant garlic, olive oil, and parsley chimichurri sauce.
